Making 1:1 Scale Camouflage

Normally I detest the large scale 1:1 painting and modelling projects. You know the sort: Bathrooms, bedrooms, etc - yuk. And so difficult to wash and dry brush too. But despite my utter lack of time and need to get something done for the painting challenge, I diverted to help the Lad make a ghille suit (known in Oz as a yowie suit) for his upcoming cadet camp

A couple of sets of camps (this is the Australian pattern known as AusCam), a hot glue gun, a day and a half, and several burns later it was time to try it out:

The deadly Park Warrior in action!

So some good man time together and a happy lad at the end of the day. But no models.
But if you get 5points for a 28mm figure, what is a 1.7m figure worth? :-)
